Another thunderous tune to bring you today in the form of Red Kate's Lost Connection. Initially, I was really taken with the intro, it reminded me of those goth-bunnies bauhaus and that was enough of a delightfully dark signpost to catch my ear. The track itself thrashes along with a really pleasing, foot-tapping tempo and throws in some lovely guitar dive-bombs to keep everything interesting. With lyrics such as "You've replaced the human voice. With tiny dots on a screen. I seem to have lost connection. To the feeling of what you mean" you can understand that this is a song about the digital world, as the band suggest "We're more connected than ever yet more alone than ever. We communicate digitally through modified or adopted personas, carefully crafting our appearance to the rest of the world. But is anyone actually who they say they really are? Do we have relationships with actual people anymore? Is the "virtual" now as real as reality, only a more hollow out version? We have not evolved for this..."
Lost Connection is taken from Red Kate's album Exit Strategy -give it a whirl and maybe make that connection with the band?
